Coronation Street fans fume as Carla’s new romance ‘ruined’ in single moment

Coronation Street fans were dealt a blow as Carla Connor’s newest romantic entanglement intensified.

Post her breakup from Peter Barlow, who left for a sailing job with son Simon, Carla’s been buried in business. Come Friday (September 6), though, she was caught up with villain Joel Deering in a tense confrontation.

Joel later rocked up at the factory, looming over Carla, but his sinister moment got cut short by none other than Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain, diving in to break it up. In a close encounter, Carla opened up to Lisa, pouring out her woes about Peter bailing on her and Jenny nicking her cash – she’s not having the best of times.

Lisa touched Carla gently on the arm, the camera going in tight on the action until her daughter Betsy barged in, killing the charged atmosphere. Noticing the spark between them, Betsy ran, reports the Express.

Catching up with her later, Lisa made it clear: “I had my hand on Carla’s arm, it was a comforting hand! Carla’s straight!” Unconvinced, Betsy quipped back: “Yeah, and so is spaghetti until you boil it!”

Betsy then slagged her off, calling her a “hard-faced cow” and blabbed to her mum about the time Carla mowed down a teen – news to an utterly gobsmacked Detective Swain.

Viewers were initially thrilled to see sparks between the soap’s couple but were quickly frustrated as young Betsy put a damper on their budding romance. After watching the scene unfold, one viewer took to Twitter, remarking: “Betsy is NOT Team Swarla!”

Another vented their annoyance: “Can’t believe Betsy just ruined what was gonna 100% be a moment there!” While another fan posted: “Betsy nooo we deserved a long scene!” A fourth chipped in: “Great timing, Betsy. Great.”

Further adding to the drama, one fan expressed their dismay online, writing: “Betsy thinks it was more than [friends] and so do we! Then to ruin any chance of a relationship the little brat tells her mum about Carla hitting a boy then driving off!”

The plot may thicken as Lisa, being a cop, might have to act over Carla’s hit-and-run, potentially putting her love interest at risk of jail time.

Some audience members felt for Betsy’s apprehension towards Carla feeling like she’s “replacing her mum” with a viewer sharing their concern online: “I think Betsy thinks Carla is trying to replace her other mum who died.”

Curiosity piqued among soap enthusiasts, with another chiming in: “Why am I so invested in the Swain family? I want to know more about Lisa’s wife Becky. How did she die? Which mum had Betsy? I’m fully into this.”
